AAHA-Accredited

What Does it Mean to be AAHA-Accredited?

Who is AAHA, and what does this mean? AAHA is the organization that accredits veterinary practices in the U.S. and Canada. AAHA hospitals strive for and achieve excellence. Nearly 60 percent of pet owners believe their veterinary hospital is accredited when it is not. In fact, only 12-15% of veterinary hospitals in the United States and Canada are AAHA-accredited.

What does this mean for me and my pet?

It means that our hospital holds itself to a higher standard and that your pet is receiving care at a hospital that has achieved the highest standards in veterinary care. AAHA sends consultants every three years to evaluate our adherence to the AAHA Standards of Accreditation, including approximately 900 different standards of veterinary care.
